Introducing Flower Power #10

Hi, it's day 4 of the Uniko release introductions. 

Today we are looking at another set from the Flower Power series, Flower Power #10.

In this card I've used just the bloom and stem which have been stamped in an all over pattern with Memento Black Onyx and colored with Copic markers. A simple sentiment from my stash using Doodle Flowers completes this card. I kept the design fairly flat as I knew I would be posting this to Canada for the fab Loll Thompson's birthday. I can share it now because I know she's received it!

So that's the last of the intros for this release but why not check out what the rest of the BAs have been up to with their stash!

Introducing Background Blocks Offset Stripes

Welcome to day 3 of the Uniko June release intros.

Today our focus is another in the ever useful Background Blocks series, Offset Stripes.

This was inspired by a poster I found online with a simple Sentiment Block sentiment in black.

Using my Misti, I stamped first with Altenew's Dew Drops, then masked off the first stripe and stamped again. I repeated this using a darker ink each time. Altenew's mini ink cube sets make this super easy.

Once dry, I trimmed the panel down and added to a kraft base card on pads. A simple quite masculine card.

So there you have it, that's all from me today but please check out the rest of the team to see what ideas they've had. I'll see you back here tomorrow for the final introduction.

Introducing Flower Power #9

Morning all, back for day 2 of the introductions for the new Uniko release.

Today we are focusing on an addition to the Flower Power series. 

Flower Power but where are the flowers?! 

Well for my card I used the flower of hexagons to create a background panel which I die cut with a hexagon nesting die set. The flower heads were stamped onto a panel of white card with Versamark, heat embossed with Banana WOW EP before adding some Wild Honey DI. The tiny bee was stamped with Altenew's Limestone ink, coloured with Copics and fussy cut. 

To complete, I stamped the bee trail and sentiment in Memento Rich Cocoa.

My panel was trimmed to leave a small border before adding to an A6 white base card.

That's all for today but why not check out what the rest of the Brand Ambassadors have been up to. I'll be back tomorrow with another intro.

Happy Birthday for a Teen

Morning all.

As well as the Uniko release today also sees the start of a brand new challenge over at Cardz4Guyz. This time our theme is:-

ANYTHING MASCULINE GOES

Pretty free range then. As usual when it's and AG challenge I had far too many ideas and struggled to narrow it down to one card. In the end with challenges not helping me, I decided to share this teenage card.

I used a LOTV image That I customised by lengthening the hair with a few deft strokes of my Copics.

I used an old Sizzix EF to create the background and used up some scraps of DP from my stash to brighten up the design. My teen, Oliver Cool, was coloured with Copics, then fussy cut and added over the background. Nothing fancy just a simple idea for a teen.

For more inspiration please check out the rest of the team here. 

See you in the gallery!

Introducing Ink n Flip Hexagon Stencil

Good morning. It's day 1 of the introductions for the June release from Uniko!

Today we are sharing our ideas using another from the Ink n Flip stencil range, here's my take.

I've combined a couple of the older hexagon themed sets, Bee Happy and Background Builders Happy  Hexagons to use with the new stencil.

First on a panel of white card, I stamped a repeat pattern in white pigment ink using the outline hexagon strips from Happy Hexagons and left it overnight to dry before using the stencil over the top with a mix of Mustard Seed and Wild Honey DI with the first part of the stencil. The white ink traps the colour and magically appears! On some scrap white I inked the second inner stencil with the same colours and cut it out, adding it to my base with foam pads. 

The sentiment is a hexagon cut from brown/black card and heat embossed with the sentiment from Bee Happy in white before adding a fussy cut bee from the same set. I stamped quite a few of these for use later, with Altenew limestone ink for a no line effect, colouring with Copics.

So that's all from me for today but I'll be back tomorrow with an other introduction, but why not check out the rest of the BAs to see what they've been up to.
